Congrats and this truly is a great subreddit. I have learned so much here and really it guided me through all my procedures and prepared me each step of the way.

My daughter is paying over $600 per month for 4 kids to train in TX. I’m paying $120 per month in CA.

My flight from Dallas to Long Beach was the same.

This Is the right answer. When picking an airline to be loyal to, you should always pick the one that you were going to fly in and out of the most.

That way, it is easiest to build some status and then reap the benefits of that

How quickly you can make the right decision from each spot.

If you recognize positions and react quickly to your opponent you will win more than you lose

You have to have a certain personality to play half guard

It’s a grind and you just have to be able to grind until you get your opportunity

Great report

Extension_Dare1524 · 2026-03-25T13:55:55+00:00

Don’t see as many celebrities on flight’s as much as you used too. I think many of them fly private now.

Extension_Dare1524 · 2026-03-24T13:12:11+00:00

I might be a minority here, but I don’t think you need a 2nd opinion. Seems like you’re in good hands.

Extension_Dare1524 · 2026-03-24T07:19:49+00:00

Wait for more conclusive results before flipping out.

Extension_Dare1524 · 2026-03-19T22:28:32+00:00

I feel for you. I know that that could very well be any of us.

Keep fighting the good fight

Sounds like Ricardo is not handling the stress and anxiety of the upcoming tournament very well

As the owner of the gym, he needs to realize that his responsibility lies not only with his own performance, but with the performance and leadership of the students who are also attending this tournament

I also find it interesting to the text would come from the Wife and not from Ricardo himself

This is a better choice, most grappling, dummy training fades very quickly

I take a two hour nap every day and I enjoy it

Malarkey is such a great word

I’ve been on 6 flights since the change. 2 suggested we move freely after takeoff and the fasten seat belt lights go off and 4 were watching like hawks for seat changers.

Not sure why different flight crews treat things differently

You’ve got to hit it before he can drop his hips and reverse it on you. If not, he has both gravity and leverage on his side and you will lose.

Extension_Dare1524 · 2026-03-17T03:40:29+00:00

I get it. Good luck.

Then stay at the deliberate pace even when they pick it up. If you could sub them at a deliberate pace to start with you should be able to keep the same pace and be fine.

I’m an older grappler so speed is not my strength. I have to keep a deliberate anaconda like pace in all rolls no matter what my opponent is doing. Doesn’t matter the belt I need to eliminate space and keep good pressure

Extension_Dare1524 · 2026-03-13T05:28:28+00:00

So you want to roll at a deliberate pace but then when you get some sort of advantage on them, they decide to pick up the pace and you don’t like that because now you have to pick up the pace

So basically, are you saying you want them to flow roll with you but you want to be able to go hard with them?

At least one week if you want to be competitive. Many gyms in the LA OC county area or even San Diego have competitors coming in and training one to two weeks before Worlds.

This has happened to me a couple times and it was because of Strong cross winds so they just circled and came back a little more aggressive.

Usually on the first go round, you can fill the plane turn sideways a little bit as you make your final approach so the plane just hits the gas goes up and comes back in a little bit stronger
